I assist in the creation of various VR and AR programs through basic coding, modeling, budgeting and concept creation. They range from educational applications used in chemistry classes to entertainment experiences for library patrons. This includes modeling objects using programs such as Blender or Meshroom for Photogrammetry. I also check out equipment and aide in the use of the green screen room and VR headsets. In the summer of 2019, I helped to run a class for students who were visiting the campus from countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Chile.

I have managed multiple Anti Hazing events with Rae Ann Gruver and Evelyn Piazza, head advocates for hazing law changes. I recruited a chemistry researcher and professor on campus to be our faculty fellow to help our chapter attain RLC status. I was elected to Vice President during my first semester in the organization as a freshman. I have been to multiple leadership conferences from the Ruck Leadership Institute, Carlson leadership academy, and Grand Chapter Conclave and was a Tragos finalist during my sophomore year in the fraternity.
